Anker launches new video doorbell with 360-degree field of view and AI tracking

Anker has launched the eufy Video Doorbell S4 as part of its new Edge 5.0 Yard Protection System, releasing it alongside the SoloCam E50 outdoor camera. The doorbell costs $299.99 with an included eufy Chime 2 and is available for pre-order, with shipping expected by the end of October 2026.

eufy also sells the doorbell in a bundle with a two-camera SoloCam E50 kit and a HomeBase S380 hub for $949.98. The SoloCam E50 costs $229.99 on its own.

The Edge 5.0 lineup has five devices: the S4, the SoloCam E50, the TrackLight Cam S1, the eufyCam E52 and the Window Camera E10. Frank Zhu, General Manager at Anker eufy, said homeowners see their property as “one cohesive space they need to protect.” He added that every product in the range connects to the HomeBase S380 for local storage without a monthly subscription. Anker first showed the S4 at CES in January, when it was priced at $279.99.

The doorbell records 3K video at 3072 x 3072, a square 9MP frame, at up to 24 frames per second with HDR. Its lens covers 180 degrees horizontally and vertically, which eufy says stretches from floor level to ceiling height and from wall to wall, showing visitors from head to toe. The camera offers up to 8x zoom, and dual spotlights provide color night vision.

Anker bills the S4 as the world’s first VR doorbell. In VR mode, owners move their phone or a headset to look around the panoramic image from any angle. When a visitor presses the button, the alert appears on the phone like an incoming video call, and answering it opens the feed in full-screen VR mode with two-way audio.

eufy OmniTrack, the company’s AI tracking system, locks on to a person in the frame. Auto-framing then crops the panoramic image so that person stays centered, giving a tighter view of each event.

Radar handles longer-range detection, while two PIR sensors cover a wider area close to the door. eufy says the combination separates human movement from disturbances such as insects and rain. Owners can draw custom detection zones within a 120-degree field out to 8 meters, and the doorbell supports person, motion, package, and face detection. A built-in welcome light switches on with a warm glow when someone approaches.

The S4 is a wired-only doorbell. It connects to existing doorbell wiring rated at 16 to 24 VAC and does not support battery or solar power for daily use. A built-in 2,600mAh battery keeps it running during power cuts, and the included Chime 2 replaces the home’s old mechanical chime.

The doorbell connects over dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi 6, and eufy recommends an upload speed of at least 8Mbps for 3K streaming. It stores clips on 4GB of built-in memory with no monthly fee. Pairing it with a HomeBase S380 adds continuous 24/7 recording and AI recognition of people, vehicles, pets, and packages, according to eufy.

The S4 works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home, with Apple Home requiring a HomeBase S380. eufy says these third-party platforms show a fixed live view only, and VR mode and OmniTrack remain exclusive to the Anker eufy app.
